← ScienceWhich mechanism causes reduced efficiency when metallic ink is imperfectly sintered?
A)Increased phonon scattering✓
B)Enhanced plasmon resonance
C)Increased radiative recombination
D)Decreased magnetic domain alignment
💡 Explanation
Increased phonon scattering causes lower thermal and electrical conductivity because grain boundaries disrupt the crystal lattice, rather than increased resonance. Therefore, heat and charge transport is impeded rather than enhanced through the intended matrix.
